This week, we’re joined by the brilliantly funny Rhys James: stand-up comedian, writer, and now author of his first book, You’ll Like It When You Get There (A Life Lived Reluctantly), out 14th August 2025.
We chat to Rhys about his career in comedy, from appearances on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and QI, and also dive into the themes of his hilarious and painfully relatable new book an introvert’s manifesto for anyone who has ever fist-pumped when plans are cancelled, dodged social events, or found creative ways to avoid life’s big milestones.
